Kids roll a polyhedral die (you can also try flipping playing cards or Uno cards) and place that many items in their cup. So simple and so fun! Grab a bin of math cubes or small toys and some plastic cups. You’ll get a different result every time, making this one of those preschool math games kids can play again and again. Stack building blocks and build a city skyline. You can play this game in other ways too, like calling out the numbers randomly yourself, or taping the numbers in a variety of places around the room. Then have kids roll a die and run to tag the number that comes up. We love that this game gives kids a chance to move! Tape up numbers on the wall (or write them on a whiteboard). Uno cards, with their bright and cheery colors and large numbers, are perfect for this, but regular playing cards work too.

Get some memory practice while you learn numerals. They finish by counting the blocks all together, an early intro to addition. In this one, kids roll the dice and then stack blocks together.

You’ll find lots of dice-related preschool math games out there.
